Definition: Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Explanation: Okay, letโs break down this verse from Romans 8:34. It's a really important and comforting passage about how God works with us! Hereโs what it means in simpler terms: Think of it like this: "Who is he that condemns?" โ This part asks, "Who is the one who is disapproving or judging ?" It's asking if anyone is condemning Christ. "...it is Christ that died, yea, that is risen again..." - This is the core of the verse. It says that Jesus Christ (Godโs Son) died on the cross and was buried. But here's the crucial part: He rose again! "...who is even at the right hand of God..." โ This means Heโs now in a position of power and authority, like being with God. Think of it as standing alongside God. "...who also maketh intercession for us." โ This is the really important part. "Intercession" means to pray for someone or something. Christ intercedes (helps) for us. He prays on our behalf, and in doing so, he offers forgiveness and strength to us. In a nutshell: God has forgiven Jesusโs sacrifice, and now through His presence, He actively works to help us! It's like a special relationship where God is constantly working for us. What does this verse mean for us? It means that we donโt have to worry about being judged. Godโs love and forgiveness are complete, and He's always working to protect and help us. Does this make sense? Do you want me to: Explain any of these parts in more detail? Give you a simple analogy to help understand it better (like a parent helping a child)?
